Think investors are driving up home prices? The data tells a different story.

Last year, just 2.8% of homes were bought by large investors. That means the vast majority were purchased by regular buyers, not big corporate giants.

So, what’s really pushed prices higher? A long-term housing shortage.

Simply put, there haven’t been enough homes available for everyone who wants to buy one.

But here’s the thing: more listings are hitting the market now, and that’s starting to take some pressure off prices in a lot of markets.

Curious what that means for our area? DM me.

Seeing chatter online that’s making you wonder if home prices are about to fall? Here’s some information that’ll put your mind at ease.

Over 100 housing experts agree prices are projected to rise nationally for at least the next five years. And even the most pessimistic of those forecasters are not calling for a crash, or even a decline.

Now, the pace of that price growth will vary by market. Some areas will climb more than others. Some may see small, short-term declines. But the big picture is: expect slow, continued growth.

And that’s not a crash. That’s a market getting closer to what’s normal.

New home sales just hit their highest level in more than two years, and it’s not hard to see why.

To help sell their inventory, many builders are cutting prices, buying down mortgage rates, and more. And these incentives can make a real difference when you buy.

That’s why so many people are opting for brand-new homes lately.

The bottom line? A newly built home may be more within reach than you ever thought possible.

Let’s talk about what local builders are offering in your target area and see what fits your budget.

How low will mortgage rates go? Here's what the experts are saying in their latest forecasts.

While no one is calling for a big drop, experts think there will be slow improvement over the next year.

But it won’t be a straight line down. You’ll want to brace for some bumps along the road as new economic data comes out.

And here's what you need to remember. We don't have to see a big drop for you to feel the difference. Any downward movement should help your bottom line.

If you want to see a rough ballpark of what your future monthly payment could look like as rates ease, DM me.
